Netizen’s Brilliant Explanations on Lowering the Age of Criminal Liability, Silencing Critics

3 mins read
A concerned netizen is making the rounds online for his brilliant explanations on the controversial issue regarding lowering the age of criminal liability which is being sensationalized by the opposition and the mainstream media.

Concerned netizen and veteran blogger Eric Clark Su explained the importance of lowering the age of criminal responsibility involving children 9 years old and above.

Eric Clark Su suggested that critics should read the controversial bill before everybody will conclude the bill’s effects on our children.




First, Eric Su stated that every child at exactly nine (9) years old and below is ABSOLUTELY EXEMPT of criminal responsibility. The only children who will not be exempted are children 9 years old and one day up to above 9 years old and below 18 years old.

Nine (9) years older and 18 and below are exempted from criminal liability but subjected to an intervention program unless the child has acted with discernment. This means that children should be proven to have the right discernment before being subjected to government intervention.

The crimes committed by children are also limited to the following crimes such as “Murder, Homicide, Parricide, Infanticide, Violation of Dangerous Drugs Act, Rape, Carnapping and Kidnapping.”

Aside from the above-mentioned reasons, Eric Su also explained that if ever children aged 9-18 years old are proven guilty of the crimes, they will not be jailed, as the mainstream media and the opposition suggest. Still, they will be put under the Reformative Institutions program organized by the national and local governments.




Here is the Complete Explanations of Eric Clark Su:

Para po sa bumabatikos ng panukalang batas na nag-bababa sa 9 y/old ang criminal responsibility,
Mangyari po sana na basahin natin maigi ang panukala bago tayo mag-isip ng hindi naman naayon dito.

Una, ayon po dito, ang lahat ng bata na eksaktong 9 years old pababa ay ABSOLUTELY EXEMPT from criminal responsibility. Ang sakop sa batas na ito ay 9 years old and 1 day at higit pa. Pero ang sinumang higit sa 9 y/old but below 18 y/old ay maeexempt din sa criminal liability and be subjected to intervention program unless the child has acted with discernment. Ibig sabhin kung sakali lamang na lubusan nilang naiintindihan ang tama sa mali at nauunawaan nila na gumawa talaga sila ng krimen.

Pangalawa, limitado lamang po ito sa specific crimes tulad ng:

Murder
Homicide
Parricide
Infanticide
Violation of Dangerous Drugs Act
Rape
Carnapping
kidnapping




Pangatlo, kung sakaling mapatunayang sila ay may sala sa korte sa mga nabanggit na krimen, HINDI PO SILA IKUKULONG TALIWAS SA PAGKAKAINTINDI NG KARAMIHAN.
SILA PO AY SASAILALIM SA PROGRAMA NG REFORMATIVE INSTITUTIONS.

The purpose of these institutions is to help the children to be integrated back to the community after they have committed criminal acts. Katulad po nito ang BAHAY PAG-ASA sa ilalim ng DSWD.
Hindi po sila ituturing na criminal at hindi isasama sa mga selda. Sila ay ituturing na CHILDREN IN CONFLICT WITH LAW.

Pangatlo, sino man ang nasa hustong gulang na gumagamit ng mga bata para makagawa ng krimen ay magkakaroon ng maximum na parusa na RECLUSION PERPETUA. Sa ganitong paraan, hindi na gagamitin ang mga kabataan para gumawa ng krimen lalo na sa drugs na hawak ng mga sindikato.

Pang-apat. Kasabay ng Child in conflict with law ang magulang sa mandatory intervention program. Para sa gayun maintindihan ng magulang na hindi nila dapat hinahayaan ang mga anak na gumawa ng krimen o para mas maalalayan nila ang kanilang anak sa pagbabago nito. Ang pagtanggi ng magulang ay may katumbas na pagkakakulong.

Panglima, TALIWAS SA PAGKAKAINTINDI NG KARAMIHAN, hinding hindi po mahahatulan ng panghabang buhay na pagkakakulong o ang mga kabataan na ito kung sakaling mapatunayang GUITY.

Ayon sa panukala, THE COURT SHALL IMPOSE 2 DEGREES LOWER THAN THAT PRESCRIBED BY THE LAW FOR CRIMES COMMITTED BY CHILDREN WHO ARE IN CONFLICT WITH LAW.




SA MAKATUWID, KUNG SAKALING MAPATUNAYANG MAY SALA, ANG PINAKAMATAAS NA HABA NG PARUSA AY 12 YEARS LAMANG PERO HINDI NIYA BUBUNUIN ITO SA BILANGGUAN KUNG HINDI SA BAHAY PAG-ASA.

Kung sakaling umabot siya sa 18 years old at hindi pa din nagbabago, dadalhin sila SA MGA AGRICULTURAL PENAL FARM OR TRAINING CAMPS na pamamahalaan ng Bureau of Coorections o ng TESDA.
Kapag umabot siya sa 25 years old, SIYA AY PAPALAYAIN KAHIT HINDI PA TAPOS ANG SINTENSIYA.

HINDI PO SILA IKUKULONG SA BILANGGUAN AT ISASAMA SA PRESO!!!
HINDI DIN SILA MAHAHATULAN NG KAMATAYAN KUNG SAKALING MAIBALIK ITO DAHIL 2 DEGREES LOWER NGA ANG IBABABA NG HATOL SA KANILA.
SANA PO BASAHIN MUNA PO NATIN MAIGI ANG PANUKALANG BATAS AT HINDI BASTA KUMONTRA NG HINDI NAIINTINDIHAN.
Mas mainam po ang purpose ng batas.
